UFC Fight Night: Holm vs. Correia, also identified as UFC Fight Night 111, was a mixed martial arts competition organized by the Ultimate Fighting Championship on June 17, 2017. The event took place at the Singapore Indoor Stadium located in Kallang, Singapore.

Background

This event represented the UFC's second appearance in Singapore, the first being UFC Fight Night: Saffiedine vs. Lim, which occurred at Marina Bay Sands in January 2014.

The headline bout showcased a women's bantamweight clash between former titleholder Holly Holm and ex-title contender Bethe Correia.

Initially, Alex Caceres was anticipated to compete against promotional newcomer Wang Guan; however, he ultimately faced another debuting fighter, Rolando Dy.

Jonathan Meunier was set to battle Li Jingliang, but an injury forced him out, leading to promotional newcomer Frank Camacho stepping in as his replacement.

During the weigh-ins, Carls John de Tomas exceeded the flyweight limit by five pounds. Consequently, he was fined 30% of his fight purse, which was awarded to his opponent Naoki Inoue. Their match proceeded at a catchweight.

Monetary bonuses of $50,000 were distributed as follows:

  • Fight of the Night: Li Jingliang vs. Frank Camacho
